    I enjoyed that film a lot. Good bright picture, interesting story, good actor work.
    A bit short, but I played twice and probably will do it again after some time. Could not hold my self from reading all endings and story branches. In my opinion this film is quite clever, there are interesting ideas. I hope more such projects come on market.

    But keep in mind, I like a lot interactive movie games. For me this experience was nearly good to Quantic Dream games, but of course much shorter.    … Expand

    very good stoty, many endings.. good choices ! Try it
    Quick time event choices really chance the story and the visiting aeras. Good actors
    2 hours and half for one way in the story, with not the good ending.. too short but i have try another session.

    This is a game how Telltale games would look like if they were good. As in Telltale games story goes same way whatever choices you make here your choices really change gameplay. Short, but sweet experience.

    Really good acting and a great interactive experience with meaningful decisions, different story paths and multiple endings. I enjoyed it very much.

    Late Shift is an interactive real life movie game. Your choices are timed so you need to be able to decide quickly. The premise is that the main character suddenly gets caught up in a heist and you have to navigate all the surprises and drama that comes with it. The story gets right into the action and there are varied endings depending on your choices. My only real gripe is that a gameLate Shift is an interactive real life movie game.

    I really liked the format, great direction, over 20 hours of good production filming level, the story is interesting, the graphics are just great, and good replayability for easy trophies, It would be a great option at a lower price, really enjoyed mit.

    Good interactive cinema. In 4-5 hours platinum, one of the simplest is easily beaten out. A game leans completely on a plot which simple but fascinating. 7 endings which not strongly differ from each other, reducing the actual quantity of endings up to 3. I recommend to get acquainted with this movie.

    It's not a big game. But it is an interesting game, something of an embryo. I believe the future of this type of hybrid between a movie and a game is the way of the future. It deserves a second look

    LATE SHIFT is an intriguing cinematic gaming experience. In the similar style of Tell Tale games, but instead of animation, you have a movie that has seven different endings depending on the choices you make (decisions have to be made within seconds).

Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy playing Tell Tale games like THE WOLF AMONG US and THE WALKING DEAD series.    … Expand

    Pretty interesting game with an enjoyable story. Only real problem is that all of the many endings feel a little lackluster and cut short. 73/100

    I really wanted the Bunker, but this one also seemed some what interesting. So I got them both in a bundle of three Whale Interactive games. Just don't expect Quantic Dreams or Telltale level of writing and performances. Very minimalist gameplay with spasmodic QTE dialogue options. Soap level crime drama and the acting is ok-ish.

    Usually I like these type of games, but this one was extremely 'meh'. The acting was mediocre, the plot wasn't very original, and the worst part of all is if that you screw up and die, there is no loading point therefore you have to start from the very beginning, again. An extremely limited game, this seems like more of a prototype or rough draft than an actual finished product.

    This is a short game with many ending depending on your choice. This game is actually pretty decent and it is set in south east London.
    The story is well written.

    "Late shift" was a great experience, something extraordinary among standard games. I enjoyed the game and obtained the platinum trophy.

    First of all, the sound on this game can be horrible. I don't know who decided to make the soundtrack louder than the dialogue but it's often incredibly difficult to hear characters (even when adjusting the volume settings).

    The acting in this game is a bit mixed, sometimes I felt some cast members were very poor while at times some were more impressive. The plot for the game is your fairly average B-movie plot. It's interesting to get through, but it isn't compelling. Some cast have really fake accents, which just makes this ridiculous.

    I would recommend this only if it's on sale. This is NOT worth £9.99. I bought this for like £2 so I feel i got sufficient enjoyment for that price.    … Expand

    Genere di gioco molto interessante e Late Shift è davvero un ottimo film interattivo. Giocherei volentieri anche 'The Bunker' uscito precedentemente ma purtroppo (per ora) non prevede i sottotitoli in italiano

    Unexpectedly cool game! At first I thought, meh, this is one of those games, where you just watch a movie with some choices, which don't make difference. But turns out, they do! And to get a good ending you have to replay this story again and again, hoping that this time everything will end up good.

    The story has its weaknesses, but it offers a very thrilling, non-linear experience that shines with great actors and far-reaching decisions.

    How you rate Late Shift depends on how you look at it. It has few arguments as a game, but as an interactive live action movie it’s a very interesting phenomenon and it surprised me with how much the story can vary depending on your choices. [07/2017, p.44]

    An unsatisfying yarn, where returns diminish as rapidly as the stakes escalate. [June 2017, p.87]
